Tom Brady and the no-huddle

I have a question - I seem to remember Carolina's defense getting beat pretty badly against the Eagles during the pre-season because of the uptempo no-huddle offense they run.  For years, Tom Brady has run a quick, no-huddle style offense.  I've watched every Panthers game this year and I can't think of any team that really tried to beat Carolina's defense with quick no-huddle calls.  Should we expect to see a lot of that tonight - and could it be bad for the defense?

No way they do it unless they're trying to put us away after we make some early mistakes. They score fast, they keep our defense fresh the whole game and our offense has more time to work with. They'll run their offense a little faster than the 9ers did, but only in the sense that the huddle will be short and they'll hurry to the line. Their objective HAS to be "run the ball, make safe passes, get first downs, chew up clock" if they want to win this game.

Try your best to diguise your defense, make the QB try and disect the 'D" in a couple of seconds, if he can't, audibles can't be called, confusion sets in and the "hurry up" breaks down. The downside of this is of course Brady who is a master of the"up tempo" offense. If the Bengals and Jets can do it.........

Expect lots of no huddle quick tempo spreading us out.....

We got to stop them on first down. Hard to get the no huddle up and running unless you get the positve play in the early down. We also need to come out and force them out of the quick pass. Give them a shot at beating is deep.....gives us the best shot at getting Brady

We have seen fast speeds against Philly in the preseason and Buffalo in game two.

 

I do think we will see some tonight.  Like a midget at a urinal we will have to be on our toes

Speculation in Boston is the Pats will run 4-5 wide. Conceed the power run game (because we're such a good run stuffing team), and dink and dunk our defense to death.

If Brady stays upright, it could work. Don't forget this is the first game of the season the Pats will have all of their offensive weapons. Gronk, replacement Welker, and Vereen being healthy makes a difference.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
